Nikko Corporation

The Nikko Corporation is a consumer goods company in Japan. Nikko was established in 1908 as a canned food company which had a contract with the Imperial Japanese Army, and it would later expand to become a furniture, food, stationery, and clothing company, producing consumer goods in general. The destruction of Japan by the US Air Force during World War II led to Nikko's services being in high demand afterwards, and it agreed to merge with Isobe in 1947 to safeguard its future; in exchange, it would pay half of its profits to Isobe.
